Typhoon Wukong Route Analysis
Track and Movement Characteristics
Typhoon Wukong (200610)'s life history began at 13 August 2006 at 14 am, initial Position position at lat 25.5°N, 138.5° near. From the overall path, the Typhoon mainly presented toward NW's Trend, then gradually turned toward N and NE direction. In the formed early period (August 13 to 14) , the system was stable toward WNW direction, latitude slowly rising, length slightly W shift.
During the 14th to 17th of August, the Typhoon center wandered between 28.9° to 31.3°, Moving direction from NW to N, and accompanied by a slight toward E swing. This phase can be considered as the 'turn toward transition period' of the path, the system is affected by the sub-tropical high-pressure edge guided air flow, Moving speed is relatively smooth. After 14th of August, with the latitude rapidly breaking 31° N, Typhoon accelerated toward NE, the length lasted to E back to 129.8° E near, and finally at August 19th at 20 am in the higher latitude sea area weakened.
